C130K Mt. Everest


AA62

Were you on any of these trips?
With OC 48 Sqn 24th April 1971. En route to Calcutta from Kathmandu. V.cloudy flew IMC to safe alt (34,000ft) thinking that we were not going to see it and then it appeared. Awe inspiring!!



Tried again with our captain, Dave Peet, on 14th Oct 1971. En route to Calcutta. Beautiful day circled the mountain at 28000ft.
XV307 at Kathmandu before flight. Don Grange in foreground displaying the ultimate in nav bags. (Notice PT exercise in front of the DC3)
